I think there were more than 800 bikes this year. The weather was warmer than last year and the turn out was very good. It's a great cause supporting all those who are served by the Salvation Army.

It brings out bikes of all types. It's a great opportunity to not only participate with hundreds of other biker enthusiasts, but a chance to see all of the other bikes in our community. The Salvation Army helps everyone and we are fortunate to be able to support the Salvation Army in this way for the 28th year in Prince George. (According to Captain Bruce Kirk)
